Portland names new city manager

PORTLAND — Mark Rees, currently the town manager of North Andover, Mass., has been selected as the new city manager.

Rees was picked by the City Council following a national search and winnowing out process that resulted in three finalists being named earlier this month. In addition to Rees, acting City Manager Pat Finnigan and Framingham, Mass., City Manager Julian Suso, were in the running for the job.
